13 across: clue "Perform with zest while nodding off" 6 letters: D?Z?N?. I think that the answer might be "Dozens" (Doze)+ NS?
But I don't see the connection for NS, or if dozens is correct?
Thanks in advance, 101043

Do zing

Dozing - 'do' (perform) + 'zing' (zest)

Clue: "Glitter from firework not stopping" 7 letters.
?P?R?L? . For this I have entered "Sparkle" But I don't quite understand. Help appreciated as always! 101043

sparkler is the firework- sparkler not ending = sparkle

[Captain2]

Firework = Sparkler - not stopping/ending

Po = river country = land: answer: Poland?
But what does "not going underground" refer to?

....PO-land = the country
